Briefs int

Non-Smoking Building Policy: Peter Greenwood, College Bursar, reports that at its meeting on
November 17th the College Board, after considerable discussion, passed the following motion:

"THAT the College Board approve the College becoming a non-smoking facility, once a designated area
for smokers has been identified that prevents the recirculation of smoke within the building.”

The financial aspects will now be looked into through Capital priorities once an area and costs for various
proposals on how this can be accomplished are identified. If sufficient funds cannot be found in this
year’s capital, then the item will be placed on the 1989/90 Operating Capital request list for consideration.
Therefore, present arrangements for smoking will continue in force until further notice.

   

 

Sold Out: Congratulations to the Theatre Department. They sold out four out of eight performances of
their hit "Kiss Me Kate".

Inspiring Insects: An inspiring insect collection will be on display in the Biology Lab (Room 3712) on
Wednesday, November 30, from 10:00 am. until 5:00 pm. Rhonda Johnson, a Douglas College science
student, has been working on her insect collection for years. She has assembled an impressive array of
@ beetles, butterflies, and other interesting creatures. They are beautifully displayed, and definitely designed

for "flash". Rhonda’s knowledge of insects is extensive and she will be available to answer questions.
Don’t miss this opportunity to come nose to nose with the exotic animals she has for you to see.
